How to reduce anxiety?

Intention. 

In tension. 

Hell of an analogy, but read the lyrics. If it fits it fits. Lol.

For a helpful tonic, I suggest GABA

 

This is the wrong dosage, to much gaba is as bad as not enough, want to take between 100-250 mg, maximum 250mg. One of does 750mg pills is overdose and will make you feel worse.

* Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) - this is an adaptogen more than a sedative so this helps you push over the first adaptation level. Again, it does not fix the root cause but a lot of people feel great on this. It would however not be my first go to.

Ashwagandha impairs sleep quality, avoid.

Not in my experience, but I understand the caution.

@seeking_brilliance Are you getting a tingling feeling in hands and feet or breathing problems?

@integral no. I don't know if it has to do with the sourcing or not. I specifically searched for a quality brand with good bio - availability.
